FZS600 Fazer / alternative levers?
« on: 25 January 2013, 04:51:21 pm »
I know that some on here have fitted the zx9 clutch lever to their fzs6 to make it adjustable, which I'm sure is an improvement. I've just fitted a set of cheap shortys to my fz1, and they're superb. Is there an alternative lever as a direct replacement for The fazer, as I'd like a set of shortys, and I can't find any anywhere without parting with stupid money!

For Sale & Wanted / Wanted- FZ1S rack/top box/luggage.
« on: 03 January 2013, 01:42:41 pm »
Hi guys, anyone got a rack and/or top box they don't want/use for their FZ1S. It must be for the 1/2 faired bike, not the naked. :D
I need one for work.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / nightbreakers?
« on: 24 December 2012, 04:59:50 pm »
Does anyone out there use Osram Nightbreaker plus bulbs in their FZ1/FZS?

Just asking to see if they're worth buying as I do quite a bit of night riding. These standard headlights are a bit weak :rolleyes

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Ivanised Gen 1 owner in Lancs?
« on: 16 December 2012, 09:06:56 pm »
Is there anyone with an Ivanised  Gen 1 in the Lancashire area? I'm doing a little comparison against my Gen II 2010 to see what bike would suit me better. ;)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / bars and screen
« on: 01 December 2012, 09:01:53 pm »
Just picked up my FZ1S yesterday, and love the bike to bits! But there are a few minor points that I would like to adjust, just to make her perfect

Has anyone fitted alternative bars or extended them, as the factory ones seem a little narrow for my gibbon-like arms.
Also I have a touring screen fitted and get deafening turbulence from it. Any views on a better screen? When I lift my backside 3-4" off the saddle, it goes all quiet.

For Sale & Wanted / Wanted FZS 1000, P/X tiger 1050
« on: 15 November 2012, 06:47:20 pm »
Bought my 07 Tiger 1050 two months ago, and I've more than likely bought the wrong bike! I can't put my finger on it, but I just can't gel with it. Still too much of a sportsbike lad at heart :rolleyes I've always wanted a Fazer thou, and I'd take one as a P/X for the Tiger if anyone fancies a tipple on a triple.
It's in virtually the same blue as the Fazer with 22,000miles. Unfortunately no service history due to the bike being a cat D earlier this year. (headlight, right panel and nosecone damaged) Repaired to a high standard, By looking, you wouldn't know if I didn't tell you! I wouldn't buy a lemon, and I definately wouldn't sell one, especially on here, i'd get lynched! I just simply don't get on with this bike :\
Recently serviced by me, and I can say that since I bought it, hasn't used a drop of oil, unlike some Tigers. No bangs, clonks, ticks, or farts, just that throaty triple
Loads of extras which are negotiable with what bike is offered to me. Currently running a decat, K&N, airbox mod, Fuel road legal exhaust, and a custom map bringing power in the region of 125+bhp, and 70+lb torque. I'ts like a litre v-twin torque, but smooth! There's also engine bars, and a 45litre Givi monolock top box/rack, scottoiler, and Renthal bars fitted. All original parts available 
This bike stands me at over £4k with all the extras. I'll start at £3600 basic bike, and what your Fazer thou is offered. This is the cheapest Tiger you'll find, and I'm putting it on here first before evilbay.
Don't be scared about the cat D bit, I've had 3 of these in the past, including two of my FZS 600's. As long as they're rebuilt well, there's no problem. (most cat D's are purely cosmetic damage)
Oh yeah, I'm in Blackpool in case anyone's interested. :)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Another returning to the fold........ hopefully.
« on: 14 November 2012, 12:31:37 pm »
Sorry about the lack of introduction guys, been a lurker for a good while :o 
Just been reading Bloy182's post, and I'm currently making a the same decision as him with moving to the Fazer thou from a newer bike, and I'm completely tied :look .
Been an FZS600 owner for 10 years on and off owning 3 gen 1's loving every mile on them doing nearly 100k miles between them. I built a 4XV R1 streetfighter and ran it as my commuter/toy for 7 years and just parted with it 2 months ago. It broke my heart!


I bought a Triumph Tiger 1050 in my attempt to grow up a bit (40year old :rolleyes ) and also to keep my licence :eek  I was also 'edging' a 190 tyre road riding on a regular basis which got a bit silly to be honest.
I've tuned the Tiger to about 125bhp/75lb+ torque, and it flies! But there's just something missing that I can't put my finger on it. It's comfy beyond my expectations, LOADS of torque, and now lots of power. Handlings a bit suspect, but that's a trait of the bike! :eek  I craved for a Fazer thou when I first saw them, and built the R1 as a 'substitute'. Kind of regretting my purchase of the Tiger really, wanting the EXUP thrill once again.
Never ridden a Fazer thou (gen 1), but I'm going to have a go on one tomorrow with a bit of luck. Rode an FZ1 a couple of years ago, and it was no better than my Streetfighter, so I kept the R1 then.
So if anyone wants an 07 Blue Tiger1050................ ;)

Introduction / Newbie.
« on: 22 January 2012, 01:02:50 pm »
Hi Guys.
Another newbie to the forum.  :D  Been using the forum for a while for tips about my Fazer, thought I'd better join up and introduce myself.
 
As you have just read, I own a Fazer, she's a 600 mk1, and my second Fazer now, first being about 8 or so years ago. I also own a home built R1 streetfighter. The Fazer's for work covering 40+ miles per day, and the R1 comes out for the sunny days. :rolleyes
 
I was an engineer in the Army for 17 years, and just play with the engineering as a hobby now with a carreer elsewhere. If it has an engine, i'll play with it/tune it/tweak it or blow it up trying to improve it!
 
So Hi to everyone, and the first virtual rounds on me, so what you having? :)
